"I'll find an opportunity to take a look at their transmission device later." Darkus whispered in Druzil language to Drusala beside him.
The fleet went all the way east, and finally saw the patrolling Norse dwarf warships at the mouth of the canal. To Darkus, there was no difference between the hulls of the Norscan dwarf ships and those of the Norscans. All are equipped with oars, and the bow image is replaced by the ancestor god of the dwarves. The most confusing thing is maybe because the dwarves have some kind of DEBUFF? The ship was not equipped with sails... He couldn't help but think about it. This was definitely not because the design of the North dwarf's warship was ideal for sailing in rivers and coastal waters, nor was it the height of the North dwarf, but the height of the North dwarf. Short hands and feet are not suitable for climbing up and down masts and nooses!
According to what the drunken boy Kadov said when he was drunk, the first batch of Norse dwarf warships had no sailing tradition to rely on when they were built. Although he didn't say his next words, Darkos knew that he must have learned from the Norscan longship next door, because the North dwarf warship in front of him was almost carved out of the same mold as the Norscan longship. Moreover, the longship's structural design, ease of port handling, and shallow draft are indeed in line with the water environment of the North dwarves.
In Darkus' view, the navy of the North dwarves is more like a yellow water navy or a brown water navy, allowing the North dwarves to sail their warships out of the Sea of Claws or the Sea of Chaos out of the vast ocean for ocean voyages. ...That's pure nonsense. It doesn't even have a sail. How can it survive on steamed buns? However, in his opinion, this is indeed a very good diplomatic object, as long as it does not enter the vast ocean, it is good.
What’s interesting is that the North dwarves’ warships were DIY-ed, and the bow statue in the shape of the ancestor god was not just a simple bow statue. Norscan raiders often bring their longships together to form a sustainable fighting platform when fighting at sea.
However, due to factors such as population limitations and mechanical talents, the North dwarves will be equipped with crossbow ejector in the bow statue and a ramming horn below the waterline. When dealing with Norscan raiders, charge head-on and carry out a three-axe battle. First, use the crossbow ejector to open holes in the enemy ship's hull below the waterline. Like the arrows of the Elven Ballista, they are specially designed. Make sure it is strong enough to penetrate the hull and difficult to remove. If the attack does not work, use the second attack and use the impact to collide. If it still doesn't work... then join the gang. Its essence is no different from the elves' naval battle ideas...
and the engineer of Karak Dugu City of the Mountain Dwarves. After the guild exchange, the North dwarves had new ideas and iterated on the warship. The upper edge of the ship was reinforced with steel, and the hull was further widened so that the draft would be shallower. And a batch of new dwarf equipment was imported from the mountain dwarves. Four small-caliber organ cannons were either disassembled or assembled together and installed on the bow or stern of the ship, used to fire grapeshot and round bullets.
Of course, due to factors such as tradition and inertia, not all North dwarf warships have been upgraded. Those with clans mean that they are not used to them, or they are difficult to use when the sea is rough, or because of the clan. The tradition is not used at all.
There is another difference between the Norse dwarf warships and the Norscan longships. Norse dwarf engineers designed a simple gear transmission system. It only takes a few dwarves to control a whole row of oars. As long as there is a steamed bun warship, it will be in the best position. Perpetual motion state. When a gang-hopping fight is inevitable, the Norse dwarf crew will have more energy, but will also be at a numerical disadvantage.
After some negotiations and a reluctant farewell, Darkus and Drusala pretended to jump onto the North dwarf's warship to say their final farewell. The North dwarves did not show any reaction to the elves coming to their ship. No matter how much resistance there was, after all, the Pointed Ears saved Cardolf and Karak Crow's Roost, the future king. This hypocritical scene could even have been painted and incorporated into the chronicles of the Norse dwarves.
After receiving the signal from Drusala's eyes, Darkus gave Kadolf a box of his favorite whiskey and a box of tobacco, and reluctantly left the North dwarf's warship. In addition, he exchanged tokens with the seriously ill Harkon. He put a prepared Haderika on his chest and gave it to Harkon in a pretentious manner. And Harkon gave him the most hidden one in his beard and the last gold ring on his body as "friendship gold" in Khazali German, as a symbol of this friendship and his future visit to Karak. Evidence that Crow Roost will receive warm hospitality from the North Dwarf royal family.
Moreover, in order to prevent Belloda, Druch and Asul from causing trouble behind their backs, Darkus deliberately kept a secret hand. He asked the two parties to use tokens as evidence when they meet next time. If there is no token, it will be him or him. Ren is here in person, I hope there are no changelings, but no one else.
The preliminary diplomacy between Druchi and the North dwarves has come to a successful conclusion!
"If there are no accidents, it will be two hundred years before we meet again?" Darkus waved to Kadov who was still waving to him on the deck of the falcon ship, while turning the golden bundle with his other hand. Huan said with a smile.
"Sir, hiccup... I bet that drunkard won't survive two hundred years, hiccup..." Ren was lying listlessly on the fence. If Alyssa hadn't been supporting him, he would have been prone to falling at any time. He was talking nonsense.
"It doesn't matter...as long as he and the future king..." Darkus looked at the North dwarf warship with only one spot left on the sea, stretched his waist and said nonchalantly. But when he said it, he suddenly froze. A drunkard and a consumption man. It is hard to say whether the two together can live to two hundred years, let alone live to two hundred years later. These five or five The chances of opening are not reliable either.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period." Darkus walked to Renn and patted Renn's shoulder and said. Renn's drinking ability during this period can be said to have been greatly improved, because he didn't have the time to accompany him. Kadolf and the group of North dwarves drank from morning till night. He found that those men were really good drinkers. After they woke up from drunkenness, the first thing they did when they opened their eyes was to drink. He naturally handed over the honorable task of accompanying the guests to his "diplomatic ambassador" Ren, and after saying that, he put Harkon's golden girdle into Alyssa's hands. Then he nodded to the acting captain and walked to the only corn drying on the deck. He was going to make lunch.
The gear transmission system of the Norse dwarves can only be described as somewhat interesting. It is ingenious and simple, allowing several Norse dwarves to control an entire row of oars. Able to reduce the original number by a quarter, the system is also a complex and delicate mechanical device. If the hull is subjected to a severe impact, there is a high probability that the device will be damaged.
"There are records in the library of the White Tower of Hoth that Barak Haimen's Mountain Dwarves first used something similar, but that was a long time ago and has become outdated." In Darkus and Drew While Sara was studying, Belloda, who had been looking at the Trident of the Sea, suddenly interrupted, and then started studying again, as if she had never spoken at all.
Darkus didn't say anything, but continued to record on the blank pages of the Sea of Claws manual based on Drusala's description. He also recorded Beloda's words by the way. Immediately afterwards, he studied the map of the Sea of Claws based on the manual. He discovered one thing, that is, the Falcon Ship may not need to be burned...
The fleet will still sail for a while. After going around in the Claw Sea, the fleet will sail south to the Nord Territory of the Empire. The first stop is What is now Droseppur Bay, a long time ago, the elves called it Erso Talarian!
